The Option Delta indicator plots the option's Greek Delta risk value which is based on the asset's price series. The indicator requires the option data to be specified in the Input values (expiration month, expiration year, strike price, etc). Delta shows the expected risk of option price movement which is based on price changes in the underlying asset.
